I not sure it's our right to change the name but I sure agree with
the concept.

The name "Jesus" is actually a Greek translation from his real Jewish name of "Yeshua." You would think that this name should be used for accuracy, but that would mean all those Bibles and other papers would have to be changed....too much trouble.
As for Christians dis-liking Jews, those are just a few selfish types that feel the need to put blame on the death of Jesus. Sure some Jews were responsible, but these were those Jews in the time of Jesus, not those afterwards. It's just an excuse nowadays for bigotry.

A lot of Christians dislike Peter because of Catholicism, a lot of Christian-Jews stumble over Paul. Consistently the Bible says the Jews are the people God has a covenant with, and they are still his chosen people except we are now under grace not the Hebrew law. If people are hateful in their heart, inserting a W in Jesus' name would not change anything; they are just hateful peoplet who mistake the message of the Bible.

The Jews were the ones that conspired to kill Jesus. But that was prophesied so it was probably God's plan. The purpose of Christ coming to earth was to set a new direction in relation to how the people of those days were going. He came to divide. His teachings were not what the Jews wanted to hear. So if you read what happened you can ask yourself who the hateful ones were. The fact that after 2000 years many still remain Jewish indicates their rejection of Christ, not the other way around. Christ is the One with authority not us earthlings.

Only back to the name that the Holy spirit told Mary to call him when he was born. EMMANUEL. It is from Mary not telling Joesph about it that Joesph adopted the child and named him Jesus for the roman record books of the census.

"Jesus" isn't his real name anyway. It's an English rendering of a Latin version of a Greek transliteration of a Hebrew/Aramaic name meaning "God saves". Properly, we should have called him "Joshua", but that might have confused people. Still, it is a good Jewish name, better than your artificial construction. (Actually, I think it would take more than a name change to cure the antisemitism.)

Just curious...are you Jewish now?
I don't hate Jews, I never have and I NEVER will! I wouldn't even dream of being an Anti-Semite! I LOVE the Jews no matter what!

Now I'm impressed. There are 2.1 billion Christians in the world--so you personally know at least 1.05 billion of these?
No, actually, you'd have to know all 2.1 billion in order to determine than the other 1.05 billion didn't dislike Jews.
You're something.
Maybe you should change your name to lappy. No, it makes no sense. But you don't either. So it's all sort of copasetic when you think about it.

Labels mislead, the point is what you have in your heart?
Jews and Muslims (the ones who submit)
have Yichud, and Tawheed respectively, God will judge us, be patient.

Maybe they dislike us because they don't know us. When I worked in this office and the people found out I am Jewish the main response went like this, "You're Jewish but you don't act Jewish you are so nice. Or, "Yo're Jewish, You don't look like a Jew." Get my point
